Quick to-do list
-
Manually set: Microwaves, ovens, car dashboards, analog clocks, and wall clocks.
-
Auto-update: Most smartphones, computers, and smartwatches adjust on their own (confirm “Set automatically” is turned on).
-
Check safety gear: Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and replace batteries if needed.
-
Review schedules: Double-check calendar reminders, medication times, and any early-morning appointments for Monday.
-
Outdoor timers: Adjust sprinklers, lights, and thermostats that don’t auto-sync.
Health & safety tips

Aim for a normal bedtime; the time shift can still disrupt sleep.
-
If you drive early in the morning or at dusk, expect changing light conditions and more glare—use extra caution.

As evenings get darker, consider reflective gear for walking pets or after-work runs.
